Incel is a mindset, it’s long beyond the literal definition.

I think elves in general have a quality in them that comes off as “jerk” to mortals; but try to imagine living for thousands of years and watching your loved ones dying and the entire world being burned and broken all around you as you try in vain to preserve the beauty that you loved.

Gaiman (as usual) had the best response.

Best take I’ve seen summing up the “outrage”

Creator: “Here are my three characters: Steve, Kevin, and John”
Fanboys: “Cool, love it!”

I dont have a problem with it so far, but basically everyone so far seems useless except Galadriel and the Dwarven Queen. Dwarf king seems like a baby, his elf friend is a jerk, elf king is a fool and jerk. Halfors are all cowardly characters except that one girl who is helping the wizard.

Putting aside the obvious real-world logistics Tolkien’s elves can look like an older human depending on their circumstances. When Gwindor was finally freed from years of being Morgoth’s slave he looked like an old mortal man. Grief can age elves as well, as in Thingol’s case. On the other hand, Aragorn met Arwen when…

My parents were big Tolkien heads.

They used to follow the Fellowship around the country on tour, selling cheese and lembas sandwiches in the parking lots and bootlegging tapes of the Song of Durin.

Not all who make puns deserve death... but most of them do.

“When Sauron’s forces kill her brother Finrod, it sparks in Galadriel a drive to stop all crime in Gotham City to hunt down Sauron’s forces wherever they roam.”

If the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien teach anything, it’s that the road goes ever on and on.

Miles More-ales.

Oh Brittany Murphy is such a haunting case.  She had such ability and screen presence, but everyone wrote her off as a has-been because her career as a rom-com lead faltered, and he had to do indies and made-for-TV, but really I am convinced she would’ve flourished in the streaming era, and she just needed to hang on…

Or Brittany Murphy.

Any word yet as to whether Lindsey Graham is upset about the portrayal of his people, the Orcs?

I had no idea AT ALL that that guy was supposed to be Elrond

I still remember one of the thrills from seeing the original trailer for the Fellowship of the Ring was that during that “hero moment”, you could easily identify each member of the fellowship at a quick glance, so well were the characters both cast and costumed.

Lin: Hey, what about a Batgirl movie? Has anyone tried making a film about her?

Thank god I was worried we ran out of superhero IP
